One of the most popular orchids
ffrown for cut-flower purposes is Cypripediuui
iusigne; and it is also valuable
as a house plant, though possibly
seldom so grown. Its spikes of
solitary flowers on stiff stems make it
the moat convenient orchid to have
about a house; and the lasting quality
of the flowers?from four to six weeks
each?makes the plant equal to many
that produce more flowers, but individually
last but a short time. The
quaint "ladies slipper" flowers open
a brownish yellow iu color, turning
quite yellow with age. When growing
and blooming, an abundance of
water is welcomed,provided the drainage
be perfect They are usually
grown in pots, packed with moss or%
peat. During the summer, they may

. A Dry Summer.
* .\ *
This past season has shown to many
farmers who scarcely need to have
waited until now to learn the lesson, (
the importance of making preparation
each vear for a season when the grass
in the pasture will be short, cows
. shrink in their milk, calves and young
stock grow smaller, and in both ways
a loss will be occasioned that cannot
be made up by good feeding afterward.
Wheu the price of milk aud
batter was the highest they hadJ the
least to sell. Those who had ensilage
in the silo or green fodder to cut ard
feed out were fattening their pocket-books,
while the mau whose forethought
did not come until afterward
was growing poorer. It is as necessary
for the farmer to prepare for a
dry, hot summer as for a cold winter,
;or both are sure to come every year,
sven though they sometimes are a little
delayed beyond the scheduled time.
, * Look to the Colts.
$he farmer who will closely watch
his colts at this season of the year and
n see that all their wants are satisfied
will make money by it Water should
be supplied several times a day and
always before feeding. By frequent
watering they will not drink so much
cold water at a time, which is sometimes
attended with serious results.
See that they have a variety of food
and at regular hours, for they know
when meal time comes as well as people
da Oats and wheat bran and
good clover hay make the best feed
vc " " for young stock, as they supply mas.
. cle and bone growing material.
See that they are not exposed to
rainstorms?but that in dry weather
they have a run in the paddocks and
fields. Have warm beds for them to.
^ ; lie upon when they sleep?Tor they
need refreshing sleep like all animals.
' Keep them growing. Not a day should
pass without some growth, or what
^: has been fed to them has been wasted.

sf* Worn File* and Scrap Iron.
Save your cross-cut files, the threecornered
ones, after you have worn
? ; them out. Old cross-cut files make
excellent rake teeth for a garden rake.
It takes only eight of them to fill the
rake head, setting them in two inches
?p* apart, which is a good distance to
have them. 'They will serve yon
longer, and almost as efficiently, this
. way, as at 'first. And, in fact, all
roils, bolts, plow points, and sc?ap
iron of every sort shonld be saved and j
laid away in a convenient place for
thein, ready for use, when anything of
the sort is wanted about the farm.
% , .Almost everything may be utilized in
HgPf^ some way.
Hjpgl Old horseshoes make good hooks for
w,| hitching posts, and a wornont ax stuck
into a block of wood serves well for a
miniature anvil whereon to clinch
nails, rixets and snch like work. Another
ax, fastened securely, edge up,
?sjy is convenient'for clippiug wire, n^ils,
old hoops, etc. Besides, since the
p . late rise in iron goods, old scrap iron
is in demand, and can be sold to advantage.
Gather up the scrap iron

will see chances to utilize it sooner or
. Benefit * of the Dairy to the Soil.
Professor W. C. Latta of Purdue
t - experiment station, read a paper at an
Indiana dairymen's meeting in which
? * he said that the persistent growing
and selling of hay and grain without
. making returns to the soil must sooner
v. or later result in failures. It is necessary
to concentrate the products
gpfH". that leave the farm. Batter, cheese,
cream and milk are among the most
t highly concentrated products tliat
leave the farm. A ton of butter, representing
many tons of hay, takes
from the farm only one-tenth the fertility
that one ton of hay does. Comfi'
paring the losses in soil fertility on a
; . - 100-acre dairy farm as against the
* losses where the entire crops are removed,
we have the following result:
Assuming that a 100-acre farm, sub*
jected to a five-year rotation, viz.: 20
acres of corn, oats and wheat, and 40
acres of hay and pasture, would raise
1000 bushels of corn, 40 tons of stalks,
. 860 bushels of oats, 500 bushels of
wheat, 20 tons of straw, 4nd that the
. meadows and pasture would yield two
tons of hay or its equivalent in grass
per acre,a little calculating shows that
the total amount of feed grown and the
amount of milk and butter that could
be produced from these foods is about
as follow#: Total food stuffs, 200 tons;
to&i milk, 164 1-4 tons; total butter,
#6 1-2 tons. Fertilizing ingredients:
Food stuf? 5804 pounds nitrogen,
5877 pounds potash, 2114 pounds
phosphoric acid; milk, 184 pounds nitrogen,
61 pounds potash, 66 pounds
phosphoric acid; butter, 38 1-2 pounds
P nitrogen. Cash value of fertilizing inii
gredients: Food stuffs, $1429.24;
milk, $379.26; butter, $2.94. These
figures are believed to be approximately
correct, and they speak volumes.
Growfnjr Winter Cocamben. c
Sow the seed for raising the plants
in some warm place, and as soon as
they are well iy>, transplant into Ginch
flower pots, bury the pots in the
Boil of the greenhouse up to the rim
and keep well watered with water not
too cold. It takes about five or six
weeks to raise good plants from Reed.
After the house had been prepared and
properly warmed up, we set the plants
over a trench 15 inches deep, nearly
filled with fresh horse manure, 3 1-2
feet apart, one in a pot or hill. This
? was about April 1. In the fall and
winter, when they make less vine, two
plants to the hill is better, and at this
time they may be set only 3 feet apart
Now, having strung out our plants,
we run a high" temperature, 100 de
grees mid-day heat will not harm them
for the first two or three days, reducing
the temperature to 60 degrees or
so at night. After they are well
started, a mid-day temperature of HO
degrees is sufficient. Water freely J
and now watcli closely for lice. f
As soon as the plants begin to run,
we put up trellises, using# galvanized
wire fastened to the supports with
small Rtaples; placing the wires 8 or
30 inches apart from near the ground
i to near the top of the house. We tie
them to the lower wire loosely, so as
not to girdle and kill the vines, nsiug
I the same material as in handling
j vegetables. They should be kept tied
! up as fast as the shoots get big euongb.
| Fruning should be carefully atteuded
I to. When the sun runs high and hot
j it is easy to scorch the ends of vines.
: When I have found, from any cause,
vlants lacking the vigor and the
: healthy growth of their neighbors, I
have applied a small quantity of nitrate
of soda, not more than two table
j spoonfuls to a hill.?New England

Trimming the Orchanl.
The late winter is probably the best
time in the year for the trimming of
the orchard. It most certainly is the
best time in the year for the farmer jf
his couvenieuce is taken into consideration,
There is comparatively a
lnll in his work at that time and he
can give his trees the time necessary
to trimming them in the right way.
Trimming a tree is one thing that
cannot be doue in a huny. A man
can easily cnt off a branch, but he
cannot grow one. He must cut. off
only the branches that require cutting
to benefit the tree, being careful to
cut none that will leave the trunk of
the tree exposed to the hot sun and
wind of summer, or one that will detract
from the symmetry of the tree*.
No two trees are of the same exact
shape and eacfl one must be studied
individually before touching with
pruning kuife or saw. This takes
time.
So many things must be taken iuto
consideration that no set rules can be
given in regard to trimming trees.
Where there are heavy winds during
the seasons when the trees arc full of
leaves aud laden with fruit, the limbs
should be kept trimmed so that' not
too great a weight should be borne by
the main stems. For the same reason
the limbs should be closer to tbo
grougd. In au exposed positiou the
tree should be lather heavier upon the
south side, and when yoimg should be
inclined a little in that direction.
This will tend to balance the heavy
south winds and also furnish a shade
for the trunk of the tree duiing the
hot months of the year.
Too great care cannot be taken in
_*_i e a. x
ueauug iuu siuus ui me cut, niuu.-.
Many a tine tree is ruioed by the |
checking of this stub. Waters will j
run into the crack thus formed and j
the wood surrounding will begin to |
decay. This will in a very shoi t time
reach the heart of the limb, weakening
it The life of the whole branch,
if not the tree itself, is bnt the question
of a year or so. Its doom is inevitable.
It should be borne in mind that the
trimming business can easily be overdone.
It is far easier to cut a tree
than to grow one. Think well before
putting the knife to a branch, and if
you are in donbt as to whether yon
should cut it or not?don't Be sore
yon are tight and tl^eu proceed, but
better to let nature have her own
sway than to ruin a tree by over pruning.
One can see and judge of the
importance of the limbs and branches
while there is no screen of leaves to
interfere with seeing all of them in
their relative position to each other
and tne tree. For that reason, if no ;
other, winter is a good season few

An "American Duel" at Ileidelbertr.
During my residence in Heidelberg
a lamentable and terrible a2air took
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students haviug
quarreled decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
iu, and resorted to the diabolical prac- .
tice called the "American due!." In
a darkened room the two young men
drew lots, having sworn that he who
drew the black ball would commit suicide.
The unhappy loser went to his
room and discharged a bullet into his
breast, but missed his heart and lingered
for several days on his deathbed;
his parents were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees to disclose the name of his antagonist,
but he refused and died with
the secret iu his breast. The students
not only excuse I his conduct, but
praised his courage, and when his remains
were taken to the railway station
to be transported to a distant
city they accompanied the funeral cortege
with torches and music. The
students claimed he was not a suicide,
for he was killed in an honorable
duel, and the-- maintained that his
opponent was not accessory to his
death because he shot himself; I had.
many arguments with them and neverScould
convince the of their extraordinary
tergiversation.?Science.
Sapphires That Aren't Bine.
"It is commonly believed that the
sapphire is known only as a gem of a
rich velvety blue in color," observed
an experienced dealer in precious
stones to the writer the other day.
As a matter of fact the sapphire occurs
in various hues. In Ceylon, for instance,
where the finest specimens ol
this gem are found, it ranges from the
soft velvety blue to the peacock blue,
graduated in the latter to an almost
faultless white. It also occurs in
whites, greens ana yeiiows, ice taiier
shade being known as the Oriental
topaz, and the green the Oriental
emerald. The white sapphires are
often found clouded or streaked with
blue so that many specimens are "cut
which are white when looked at transversely,
but having a bit of fine blue
tint on the under point. Then there
is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby.
It is valued as highly as the finest
Burmese rubies. Those most highly
prized are the red pigeon blood or j
rose-red color. Some very fine sap- '
phiies have been found in Montana
during the past ten years. The
American gems are light-blue, bluegreen,
green and pink, but the deep
blue and red stones, which are chiefly
in demand as jewels,have so far never
been discovered in any part of this
country. ? Washington Stan

WONDERFUL -BLOW liCLZ."

Australia Has Natural Phenomenon Which
is Unique.
What-Is known as the "great blow
hole" has recently attracted much attention
among tourists. It is a singular
rock formation of the Australian
coast, says the Philadelphia Record.
This promises to become one of the
most famous as well as one of the
most pleasant resorts in New South
Wales; it is situated on the coast some
seventy miles south of Sydney.
Tbe centre of this district is Kiama,
which is described as a picturesque
and thriving town surrounded by a
rich agricultural country, and which
has been built upon an igneous flow of
basalt that has solidified and crystal
lized into huge columns of what is
popularly called "blue stone." This
formation is seen to perfection on the
west coast of Scotland and north of
Ireland at Fingal's Cave and other
places and those who are acquainted
with the rugged appearance of the
coast in these places can form a good
idea of the appearance of the New
South Wales coast at this point.
The famous "blow hole" here situated
in the middle of a rocky headland
running out into the sea forms a truly
wondrous sight. "Vptli each successive
breaker the ocean spray is ??nt shooting
up into the air sometimes as high
as 300 feet to 400 feet descending in
a drenching shower and accompanied
by a rumbling noise as of a distant
thunder, which can be heard for many
miles around.
This "blow hole" is a singular natural
phenomenon and consists of a perpendicular
hole nearly circular, with a
diameter of about ten yards across,
and has the appearance of being the
crater of an.extinct volcano. This is
connected with the ocean by a cave
about 1,000 yards in length, the seaward
opening of which is in all respects
similar to Fingal's Cave in the
north of Ireland, the same perpendicular
basaltic columns forming the side
walls of each. Into this cave towering
waves rush during stormy weather,
and as the cave extends some distance
further into the rock than the "Blow
Hole." on the entrance of each wave
this cavity becomes full of compressed
air, which, when the tension becomes
too great, blows the water with stupenuous
force up to the perpendicular.

Tlie fumigating properties of sulphur
have long made it a valuable
household remedy, aud the sulphur
handles now 011 the market till a longfelt
want. Not only are they a convenient
disinfectant, but they are almost
sure death to flies, red ants,
roaches aud moths. The room to be
fumigated must be tightly closed,even
the keyholes stopped with paper; then
closets, trunks, drawers and all infected
receptacles must be opened, so
the fumes of the sulphur can penetrate
every nook and cranny. The
caudle is pat in a metal candlestick
and set in an earthen or iron vessel?
a coal hod will answer quite as well as
anything else. The only requisite is
that it shall be deep enough to prevent
the flames setting fire to anything.
Care must be taken not to inhale
the flame wheu lighting the candle.
The room should be kept closed
for about four hours, during which
time the purifying fumes of the sulphur
will thoroughly do their work.
These candles must not be nsed where
there is gilt paper, picture rails or
picture frames, as they will be tar*
nished.
Taking Care of Blankets.
A great deal of labor is saved by
taking proper care of blankets. When
blankets are first purchased baste a
hemmed strip of sheeting over the
top edges. When this is soiled replace
it by another, so that the edges
of the blanket do not come against
the hands and face or accidentallj
touch the floor when the bedclothes
are turned back. Air blankets very
thoroughly. At least once a month,
on a clear day. when no wind is stirring,
hang them on the line to air foi
twelve hours, turning them and shaking
them free from dust at least once.
Cse a little cotton counterpane ovei
the blankets at night; this is easilj
washed and doe% not attract dust as
the loose meshes of a woolen blanket
do. Use another counterpaue foi
. ? 4 "? A 1 1 xJ.
covering tue oea in tne daytime ovei
that used at night. By these meant
bed blankets may be kept aired
and will not need to be washed
oftener than once in two years.
It pays to use light, inexpensive
blankeis in summer, replacing
them by the heavy, more expensive
all wool blankets designed for winter,
or whenever the weather demands it.
When not in use wrap up tine blankets
carefully in cotton sheets and pack
tbeni away from moths. Sachets oi
lavender scattered among blankets and
bed linen are a warniug to moths to
keep away when they are put in the
closet, as well au inducement to azure
lidded sleep when they are spread on
the bed.

THE WILY FILIPINO.
Row He Mikes Smokeless Powder Oat of
Japanese Matches.
An Ingenious way of getting a
smokeless powder out of the heads of
Japanese matches has been disclosed
in the Pilipplne Islands. A report received
at the War Department, Washington,
from Panay, VIsayan Islands,
says:
"The roVber bands which are now
devastating are badly armed and are
arrant cowards, but cruel and take no
prisoners. An illustration was given
a short time ago in the fate of three
soldiers, who, having made them
selves stupidly drunk on tuba, tlie distilled
sap of the cocoanut trees, were
left behind by the command. Their
throats were promptly cut by the bolomen.
"A patrol party of ten of twelve men
sent after the stragglers, we teamed
afterwards from native sources, ran
Into an ambuscade of some two hundred
insurgents, who did not even dare
to attack, for they said the country
was open and they would be hurt
Eight or ten Americans can go anywhere,
but a man alone is in greater
danger of being shot from ambush.
"The natives of the Visayas have not
many guns, but a greater need of ammunition.
A curious trick has been
discovered, which shows their rascally
ingenuity. For a long time we heard
of quantities of Japanes matches coming
into Iloilo, and nobody could guess
why so many millions should be received..
Finally it was suggested that
the heads of these matches made a
good explosive.
"Experiments were made here, and
we found, by rubbing the compound
from the stick, that a practically
smokeless explosive was obtained, of
higher power than black powder, giving
a velocity so great that the lead
bullet stripped but even entering sideways'penetrated
about five Inches forther
into sand than was the case with
black powder, the bullet entering point
on.
"As the rascally Insurgents slip out
of what uniform they wear, hide their
guns and bolos, and come in dressed in
the usual white skirt and trousers as
amigos, smiling and friendly, they
could easily obtain all the matches
they required for the next attack."

He Wondered Why.
A speaker at a large public nfeeting
recently held in a London suburb had
occasion to refer to the good public
work performed by a popular magnate
who was upon the platform. After
stating the many and excellent results
of the worthy gentleman's energy and
perseverance he remarked: *
"It is a great pity that pvery other
idle and indolent man does not follow
his example."
Then the speaker wondered why it
was that the audience smiled audibly.

An Ensign's Narrow Escape.
When Commodore Deeatnr, in 1815,
dictated to the dey of Algiers the terms
of a treaty with the United States,
Lieut John Subri'ck was dispatched to
Washington with a copy for the approval
of our Government The brig
Epervier was detailed for his transportation,
and he was accompanied by

of the navy, who had married sisters
a few days before sailing with Commodore
Decatur for the Mediterranean,
and by Lieutenant Drury and Lieutenant
Yarnell, who had fonght with
Perry in the battle of Lake Erie. Just
before the brig sailed Ensign Josiah
Tattnell, who was a watch officer on
the Epervier, succeeded in inducing an
officer on one of the other ships to exchange
places with him, as he preferred
to remain with the fleet A few
days later, as the Epervier passed out
of the Straits of Gibraltar, sbe signaled
"All well on board." Since then
she has not been heard from. It is an
interesting fact that Ensign Tattnell,
who escaped the'fate of his comrades,
lived to command the ram Merrimac of
the confederate navy. Since the Eper-;
vier went down we have lost a num-!
ber of vessels, but each of them can
be accounted for.?Chicago Record. i
